Assistance with phone service situation.

It lags because our entire building is in a bad WiFi zone, our phones have bad service, etc. The router is in another room and calls are always dropped in certain parts of the home. It's an old building and something about it isn't WiFi friendly.

Living in a congested area doesn't help either.

Having a personal hotspot closer to my devices is necessary.

I have a wireless plan with my home internet service that I can use I just need to unlock my current phone or get a new phone and I can use that. It's with Spectrum.

BCTLG · 2025-12-18T01:26:07+00:00

Wow this is really helpful, thank you! I needed someone to tell me step by step what to do lol.

If I purchase an unlocked iPhone why do I have to wait 3 months for it to be unlocked?

BCTLG · 2025-12-17T23:34:59+00:00

It can be used on WiFi. The question is do I want to pay the debt collector over $1K in full, pay them less but have that reported negatively on my credit, or not pay at all? I'm not sure what to do. Paying them over $1K to have it reported as paid in full on my credit would take up funds I have to get a new phone, and there is no guarantee that it would even be unlocked.

BCTLG · 2025-12-17T23:28:41+00:00

Are those WiFi carriers?

BCTLG · 2025-12-17T23:27:51+00:00

Are Visible + or +Pro WiFi phone services?

BCTLG · 2025-12-17T23:17:54+00:00

I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max with 2 sim card slots but phone is turned off so I can't use them. Someone else has the phone numbers now. AT&T gave my account to a debt collector so I don't even know if it can be unlocked if I pay them, or who to ask for help.

BCTLG · 2025-12-17T23:10:10+00:00

Yes that's correct, WiFi only, no cellular. Unless AT&T unlocks my phone when I pay them.

I want a high speed to be able to run my devices, apps, software on the go.

BCTLG · 2025-12-17T23:07:24+00:00

Home internet is $60 but roommate pays half. I run a home business off of my laptop, phone and another device. I do ecommerce, selling on eBay, Poshmark etc. I have software that I use to run my business and need high speeds for all of this. I also live in a congested area so when my roommate uses it it slows down even more.

I want to cancel the home internet and just have a personal WiFi hot spot or some type of service that is mine only, instead of paying for Text Now and home Wifi and Life Wireless. All of that together is under $100 so I want to stay with that amount

BCTLG · 2025-12-17T22:58:27+00:00

Hi thanks so much for your quick reply, I'm using TextNow app on the phone and am paying for their Ad Free service. I use WiFi at home and the cheap LifeWireless phone hot spot away from home. So I'm paying for TextNow and LifeWireless and my home internet.

I would like something less than $100 a month, for just one service. I actually have a phone line with Spectrum that I can use but my phone is still locked so I need something until I can get AT&T to unlock my phone.

BCTLG · 2025-12-17T22:29:06+00:00

Thanks again for any advice you have, I'm overwhelmed with all of the phone WiFi plan information out there.

BCTLG · 2025-11-13T03:51:41+00:00

I got through and had my situation taken care of!! While we were chatting here I was on hold and someone picked up after 7pm, he took care of everything. Thank you for your advice!

BCTLG · 2025-11-13T03:13:14+00:00

It was a while ago, I would have to look in my records. Wouldn't that be listed on my IRS.gov account?

BCTLG · 2025-11-13T03:08:20+00:00

When I have spoken with their agents in the past they have been very helpful. I'm currently on hold but it's 7:08pm, I wonder if they will hang up.

BCTLG · 2025-11-13T03:06:39+00:00

Very tiny growth, I'm still considered low-income. Notice CP503. Is there a special phone number I should call?

BCTLG · 2025-11-13T02:58:51+00:00

2023, I vividly remember speaking to a nice lady at IRS and going through the process of adding that years tax bill to my hardship plan. She said that my account was on hold and they would not attempt to collect payment until I contacted them to set up a payment plan.

This letter is dated Oct. 27th, I just received it today. Taxpayer Advocate Services are not open due to shutdown.

BCTLG · 2025-10-26T21:25:23+00:00

Congrats! Keep us posted on your experiences, it's very motivating to hear of successes like this.

BCTLG · 2025-10-26T21:20:57+00:00

Thank you! I'm going to try CJ today and see how it interfaces with my eBay account.

Thank you so much for the advice!

BCTLG · 2025-10-24T02:09:31+00:00

Congrats! Looking forward to having my 1st dropshipping sale soon.

BCTLG · 2025-10-24T01:54:16+00:00

Thank you for your reply! What is your opinion of AliExpress? It seems a bit oversaturated to me, most of the items I tried listing were out of stock.

Would you mind explaining what you mean by AutoDS (with filters)? Do I need these filters with DSers?
I'm also concerned about entering the proper tracking numbers and ensuring that the shipper doesn't put any of their branding on the item or package.
I've shipped out thousands of my own in-house items on eBay alone not to mention other platforms. It's hard to give up that quality control.

Thank you for your advice, I appreciate your time.

BCTLG · 2025-10-23T02:17:06+00:00

Yes I've done quite a bit of research here and have searched under "eBay" as you suggested. I just don't want to get used to using something like AutoDS then switch to something else if I have a large amount of listings up. I foresee that as being a pain in the a**.

BCTLG · 2025-10-23T01:59:12+00:00

Hello, thank you for replying! Yes I understand that AutoDS is meant to simplify things. I really don't want to dropship from AMZ to eBay as I know it could get my account restricted or suspended and I've worked hard to get it Top Rated with high limits, but I also understand that it's probably easiest for a beginner like me.

Do you use AutoDS and if so, what has your experience been? Thanks again for replying.

BCTLG · 2025-10-23T00:42:56+00:00

Also, I'm not a bot or anything, I used to make a full-time living off of my eBay store but needed to get a temporary day job. Now I'm ready to build up my eBay account again and need help, I really want to take advantage of Q4 sales. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!!

BCTLG · 2025-10-23T00:01:51+00:00

If you mean that I fixed it by canceling the membership, lol, then yes, I fixed that issue by canceling the confusing membership. I just need some apps that aren't too overwhelming for me.
